AT the time of the census OF 1880,
there were ten cities in the United
States with more than 100000 inhabi-
tants each. They were New York. Phil
adelphia, Brooklyn, Boston, Chicago,
st. Louis, Baltimore, Cincinnati, San
Francisco, and New Orleans. Their
population aggregated 4.914,S97. In
1887 the number of cities with more
than 200, 900 inhabitants had increased
to fourteen, the four additional being
Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and
Washington. The total population of
these fourteen cities was estimated at
6,79S,O00. It is estimated that there

THE FARMER.
Pon,,,aritu of En,fknnc.


Last season Prof. Cook; of the Michigan
Agricultural College, visited Ohio, New
York, and Wisconsin, and attended
farmers meetings, and did his best 10
acquaint himself with the best practice and
experience MS to the silo. He was sur
prised ut the unanimity Of opinion among
those who had used silage. Every man
was enthusiastic in its praise. No one was
tearing his silo down, but many were
building more. According to the best in
formation he cleaned during his visit, he
concludes that silo can be made very
cheaply right in the l,nrn. We have only
to make large double walled box, using
tarred building paper, that it may be prac-
tically nir-tight. Two by ten joists are
used, SO that the walls nre ten inches apart.
The bottom is groutod, and it is thoroughly
drnined if necessary, against water. Ihe
door is double, and made in horizontal
sections, SO it can be opened gradually
from the top. 1t is easier and cheaper to
rake the silage at time of feeding from the
top than 10 cut down. The favorite size is
about fifteen feet in each OF the three
dimensions. 1t is better, he thinks, to
have two or three small silos than one large
one. The corn for the silo should be cut,
ears and nll, into inch lengths, and not put
too rapidly into the silo. 1t is best to fill
one day, then rest day, and 30 on. When
filing, the cut corn should be trodden
about the edge and corners, and when full
the building paper should be laid over the
top and extend SO MS TO pass up II little at
the walls or sides; then all covered by
boards and weighted by grain or hay. 1t
is believed that the very sweetest and best
silage is thus secured in the easiest and /
cheapest manner, with the minimum rush

Hi o, Lerei Culture.

1t has been for many years disputed
question whether level or hill culture was
better for growing crops, but rs there are
80 many differences in soils, while the
modes required for crops of NIL kinds are
unlike, the experience of each farmer on
his own soil cnn alone decide the matter.
The fact is that under certain conditions
either mode may be better thnn the other.
On soils that are damp, with subsoils COM
posed of stiff clay, the billing system may
perhaps be preferable; but where the soil
is we'll undetermined, or the ground rolling,
the level system may be more suitable.
Cultivation of the soil is intended not only
to clear off the grass and weeds, but also
to assist the growing plants to obtain and
retain the grentest amount of heat and
moisture, as well rs to afford more feed to
the roots. Something also depends upon
the kind of manure md fertilizer used, and
upon the quantity applied. In IN experi-
ment tried by an agricultural journal, pota-
toes were grown at the rate of one thousand
bushels per acre, but the fertilizer used
was in sufficient quantity 10 supply all the
requirements of the crop. The level cul-
tivation was practiced in growing the crop,
and it is probable that complete failure
would have been the result bad the hilling
system been followed, for the reason that
in order to dissolve SO large on amount of
mineral fertilizer plenty of moisture was
necessary, which was retained by the field
being level. By cultivating the entire sur
fnce the fine earth served as a covering, or
mulch, thereby preventing evaporation, as
capillary attraction drew the moisture up
from below, the connection, however, be-
ing broken where the soil was stirred. Hill
cultivation would not only have required
the hoe to certain extent, but would have
caused the exposure of larger surface 10
the mir, producing greater evaporation.
Corn growers are aware that the roots of
growing corn extend in every direction,
and for this reason many farmers check
their corn in the rows and cultivate i'll both
directions, the desire being not to stir the
soil deeply, but to keep the surface fine.
But on stiff, wet soils hill cultivation is
sometimes necessary, or the young corn
will be injured from heavy rains. All soils
that have been we'll titled with drain-tiles
will permit of level culture, as the most
tenacious soils are pulvorized by the mir
and heat il we'll drained. No rule, how
ever, can be laid down for all TO follow, as
hill or level culture depends entirely upon
circumstances,

A MOST curious object in the shape
of a negro child is living at Augusta,
Ga, according to the Savannah Ne,ys.
The boy, who is about 3 years of age,
has neither hands nor feet AS substi-
tutes for these limbs nature has given
him claws somewhat resembling those
of crab. There are little or no
palms, but small, round pieces of flesh
about the size of silver dollar, from
which project two long double-jointed
claws. Similarly are constructed what
nature has given as feet. There are
no soles, but what serve as heels are
something like what ordinarily serve as
palms. On these heels the child wab-
bles along, and from them two double
jointed claws also project. The child,
notwithstanding, is healthy and able to
navigate with ease.
